Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
The plan is to try out Myers in CF, apparently.
They really should put Kemp at first, but its probably bad for PR to do it right after they acquired him, hips and knees notwithstanding.
That said, I wouldn't start looking for real estate in the area if I were Yonder.

Pads just need Cashner to stay healthy and they have a legit shot at the division and a WC.
They should have kept Rizzo though haha.
What a turnaround from a week or so ago.

The entire team is composed of former all-stars or potential all-stars whose careers have been derailed by serious injury issues. I'll reserve judgment until I see real results. That said, I can't blame them for trying even if it doesn't work out since for once in the last 10 years it seems like all the guys on the team are actual major league players and not just "major league players in San Diego."

I ain't even mad:
I'll gladly take the year long hangovers if it means they win again in 2016.
Not at all surprised the Padres continued to add. The Marlins-Yankees trade was surprising though on both ends.

Heh. He had potential, buuuuuut he sucks and has a bad temper (imo).
I can just imaging Gattis on LF.....

#Braves add $182,300 in international money in Upton trade. They added $974,000 in La Stella trade. Bonus pool now stands at $2,912,200.

He went from AA to the World Series in the span of about 7 weeks. It might be a bit too early to talk about him sucking/horrible temper. If his struggles continue into the next year I'd be willing to agree with you, but for now I think it had the potential to be a valuable learning experience for him.

Marlins getting a guy named Luis Castillo makes me feel really old.
Fuck you.
I like this guy!
He's also not even 21 yet. He'll be fine. Why is everyone acting like Fried is worthless? I swear talkingchop was tough to read today.
Well, you were the one that brought up that braves fans were skittish after Beachy, Medlen, and Venters all in one season. Who are all older. And have all had multiple TJs. The age difference and number of procedures is exactly why fans ought not to be concerned.

Just accept it buddy. It's gonna happen eventually.
Highest bid for Jung-Ho Kang is $5,002,015. His team in South Korea accepts the bid so we wait to see who won the right to negotiate with him.

Gotta be the Padres.
Just saw the news about the St. Pete council vote now. :/
What are the chances that they can work something out?
Reports are saying you are right

That and the ball is tampered with too.
It's baffling to hear these comments on Max Fried. Brah has some of the most advanced stuff out of a left prospect his age. He's not afraid of the strikezone, he uses it. Think the Padres finish third in that division.

Refsnyder and Pierla will battle it out for the starting job at spring training.

Not too shabby IMO. The starting pitching has a lot of potential so at this point I don't think a wild card berth is unrealistic.
2nd wild card at best.
God I hate the fucking Padres. They need to be contacted along with the Rockies and D'Backs.
A two team division with 81 Giants-Dodgers games is would be 100x better than those three worthless piece of shit teams.
Edit: D'Backs can stay if they go back to the purple and teal.

Pads have discussed Myers+ for Hamels.
You know how the posting system works though? I'll assume yes and agree that compared to Tanaka's that's pretty nice. A Japanese pitcher is better than a Korean MI though I guess. Excepting Dice K and the hundreds more who tried and failed before my time of course.
